The Qubiv application is offered for installation to users that are interested in acquiring a premium membership at www.Qubiv.com. The www.Qubiv.com portal is dedicated to fun games, puzzles and quizzed build on the Adobe Flash platform. The content at www.Qubiv.com is available to visitors for free, but some games and puzzles are reserved for premium users. The interesting thing about the premium account at www.Qubiv.com is that Web surfers do not need to bring out their wallets to purchase a premium account. Instead, premium users accept to participate in marketing surveys and provide their email address to receive promotional materials from sponsors. That way, the operators of the Qubiv gaming platform can deliver specially curated games to your new tab page and monetize some of their work to stay afloat.

The activity of the Qubiv application is similar to the FunPopularGames Toolbar and the Free Ride Games Player which rely on the support of advertisers to function. We should note that the Qubiv program may change your new tab page design and place links to premium games on www.Qubiv.com, as well as a handy search field. The managing staff at www.Qubiv.com might use the app to show pop-up windows on your screen when you load content from www.Qubiv.com and deliver information on promotions by partners. Web surfers that are using extensions like Adblock Plus, Ghostify and uBlock Origin may be welcomed by the Qubiv program to disable them if they wish to remain as premium users at www.Qubiv.com.

Experts perceive the software linked to www.Qubiv.com as a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) that you may not like due to the extensive presence of advertisers. Additionally, the Qubiv app may drop persistent tracking cookies on your PC and share information like your browsing history and downloads log with third parties for marketing development purposes. We advise users to reconsider installing the Qubiv software and use a reliable anti-spyware tool to delete data associated with www.Qubiv.com on their machines.
